Theme Parks & Amusement
Parks reward planning more than most trips: the queue is the product, and the gap between a good day and a wasted one is usually the calendar. Check the operating days before the hotel.

Common questions
How many days should a park trip allow?
One full day per major park, plus a spare. Large parks stretch to two if the queues are long or the weather turns, and a resort with several gates needs a night nearby to justify the travel. Half-days suit small parks and rain plans.
